How do you play WWE Universe Mode?

[J is Justice]

I was just curious how everyone plays this mode. I try to play it as close to the current product, but also do my own thing. So I'll have the same roster as the current WWE, but I'll add NXT wrestlers to Smackdown and RAW. Yeah, I don't bother keeping the correct rosters because that's a pain. I used to keep the same tag teams as current WWE, too, but the tag team division is so bad, I just can't be bothered with it. So I just make my own teams, now.

I do like changing everything to the Golden Age/Attitude Era, too, but I haven't gotten around to that, yet.

I use it to make the product I'd like to see, because I'm damn sure not going to get Shotzi as SD Women's Champ real life. I do include certain things that I like from the real product. For example, I made RK-Bro a team and Toxic Attraction a stable in my latest 2K19 Universe.

Custom CAW promotions, mainly.

I completely do my own thing, but I try to determine rosters by which wrestlers have ever been a real on-screen tag team/faction together and then absolutely load both Raw and Smackdown's tag team division rankings.

I always play it the same kind of way:

-There is no NXT, and everyone on it is moved to the main roster.
-No brand split, either. Everyone is on the same show.
-Anyone from the Attitude Era or earlier is inactive. That means that guys like HHH, Undertaker, and Big Show aren't doing anything.
-More recently I've started taking out guys like Cena and Lesnar who are always at the top of the card in hopes of the game letting the rest of the roster shine.
-I always use the old championship belts and PPV sets

Outside of that, I just let the mode do it's own thing.

I've basically had my own running games continuity since like 2004 or so that I just keep running through Universe. So like in my continuity the streak was ended by Rollins and due to a several game period where I wasn't really doing it guys like Alberto and Ryback basically never existed.

1. Make my all CAW roster and CAW companies
2. Draft everyone
3. play for a few months of in game calendar
4. Get tired of the same 3 cutscenes happening over and over and my storylines getting stifled
5. Give up and just do my CAW storylines in play mode

God, I'd love to live in a Universe where Alberto Del Rio never existed.

Last time I played GM mode (WWE 2K19), I kept Raw, Smackdown, and NXT mostly the same.

However, I also remade WCW in order to have a show with all of the legends. I also replaced 205 Live with GLOW, because I wanted a roster that was a mix of the Netflix show characters and wrestlers from the original GLOW. I also used some WWE women to have a larger roster.

What eventually started happening was that I cared more about my weekly GLOW shows than that Raw,Smackdown, and NXT were being booked repetitively. I would only really pay attention to the monthly WWE PPVs.

I don't put much effort into Universe mode unless I'm doing it with a friend. A friend and I did a 2k19 draft with AEW superstars too, so it was a lot of customs.
